| Walked Oat hill and Berry hill in a circular from Punch Bowl carpark. A number of paths up but none marked on OS map so best to get there and pick a path to follow up. Not much of a view from the top. | jessicahickman | 17/03/2024 |
| Good parking at the Punchbowl car park. Plenty of tracks make their way up to the summit. Barely any deer fence left now. | Alan Caine | 27/12/2023 |
| Via MTB track. Saw millions of roe deer. | Wycombe Wanderer | 29/04/2022 |
| Second attempt, the first attempt was in autumn with the fern 6ft high. Now the heather has died back I could see paths up. The deer fence has been squashed in a couple of places with fallen trees so I just headed though one of them. The actual top seems to be in a slightly different place to the GPS position on my OS map but I just walked up until I couldn't get any higher :-) Nothing at all to see, the top is is just fern and really low trees but it was an adventure getting there. Started out at the commonwealth cemetery,owalked over past the shooting range to the old quarry and then down Abrahams valley and around. Lovely walk back up Sherbrook valley although my legs were feeling the love at the end :-) | davert123 | 04/12/2021 |
| In the dark at 5:00am by intuition and headtorch. Plenty of mountain bike and deer trods to lead upwards through open forest. Sadly cloud was blotting out any views of the partial eclipse of the full moon that was happening right now. Fascinating different experiments are taking place around here to try to reduce deer/car collisions. At night special roadside reflectors scatter and strobe approaching headlights into the woods to scare back deer and the lights can also trigger varying 'scare' noises. Other ingenious deterrents include recordings played of people talking and walking through the woods complete with the sound of snapping twigs underfoot. In first place- learning from nature must be the playing of the noise of a swarm of bees around a hive - it works apparently in keeping elephants out of plantations in Africa (good clips on youtube of this) -and now also with deer on Cannock Chase. Genius! | Chris Pearson | 19/11/2021 |
| Easy walk from Punchbowl car park, lots of unmarked cycle paths through the woods. Summit had been surrounded by deer fence but it's down in many places. After bagging this I took the scenic 10km walk through the Chase to bag Oat Hill and then Satnall Hills. | SootAndShale | 28/03/2021 |
| From Oat Hill. Mapped RoW to SJ 9888 2018 then bit of a nightmare, this route definitely to be avoided. From the summit a trail leads to SJ 9855 2038 after which good tracks to car parks. | jonglew | 17/08/2020 |
| Berry Hill and then Satnal Hills from the car park at 98405 20728. Plenty of paths for both. | clivevilla | 18/05/2020 |
| On a long walk from Aspen Car Park | M6KIO | 07/09/2019 |
| after Oat Hill, from car park to the NW, and followed some bike trails, but also had some bracken bashing. With PJB | trimarc2 | 07/09/2019 |
| with DTL after Oat Hill and then on to Satnall Hills. followed bike tracks until they ran out and then crashed through knee high bracken | r1 | 07/09/2019 |
| surprised to find this was an easy walk from carpark. lots of paths and mountain bike trails between the brambles and bracken | cjo | 05/05/2019 |
| 6th hill of 7 on a route from Astonhill Farm bus stop on the A34 to Little Haywood, climbing Peasley Bank as an out and back and then over to Upper Park, Hopton Heath then Satnall Hills and Oat Hill, descent on good track then across and steeply up through pine woodland but fairly easy going to find summit next to copse of trees a few metres in from breached deer fence. Descent back to track following it to Beggars Hill car park and then over Weetman's Bridge and into Little Haywood heading for Coley Hill... | Dazingdale | 24/11/2018 |
| From Punch bowl car park. Unsurfaced roads to devil's drumble ford. Then continued on and followed bike tracks and patchy animal tracks to top. Deer fence gas been felled to South West of summit by large felled pine. Young tree nearby seems to have been tied in a knot as a sapling. Summit unmarked but a fairly quiet spot. Better than a good few actual Tumps. | stig_nest | 30/04/2017 |
| Circuit of Satnall Hills, Oat Hill, Harts Hill (not classified but worth the climb on easy logging tracks) and Berry Hill. Easy access over deer fence as a large tree has fallen and flattened it! | BobHancock | 09/03/2017 |
| From Oat Hill, South of Harts Hill, over stepping stones and up Berry Hill from SE. Magical moment at summit when I saw about 1/2 dozen deer. Route down to SW much more direct and quicker. No problem with bracken. As per Aye Jimmy to access summit. | David Evans | 08/01/2017 |

| From Oat Hill passing over Harts Hill at SJ 98231 20320, surprised it's not tickable. Crossed beck at outflow of small tarn and up wood. Deer fence at top seemed new, easiest to cross at angle-post near summit. | Aye Jimmy | 03/04/2016 |
| While out with Minnie, cut off path from stepping stones to 7 springs, vague deer tracks up, deer fence downed by treefall, vague top no views, all very vague apart from the weather which was lovely cold sunny dry.. | apricorum | 15/02/2016 |
| As RHW. Not really worth the bother for an Unclassified. Lost my woolly hat on the way down. Went back to look for it , but not sure of line through bracken. Curses! | ngthack | 25/11/2015 |
| Milford to Hednesford. Deer fence is now intact. | Smudge | 21/02/2015 |
| After Oat Hill, slightly soggy crossing of Sher Brook then trackless dead-bracken climb, cross deer fence where fallen. Descended NW back to Punch Bowl car park then up Satnall Hills | RHW | 20/12/2014 |
